One of those (joyful) days

Today was one of those days: a perfect work morning, in which your (toddler, preschool, and graduate) students come together in one room, to explore the world together. Thank you, everyone!

Postcards from the (future) museum

Players were invited to create cards containing prompts focused on four categories outlining future times and circumstances. Based on cards picked at random, participants created postcards from the future that they then sent to each other.

It’s that NAEA time of the year

With Spring comes the annual convention of the National Art Education Association (NAEA). Every year we meet in a different city, and soon I’ll be off to Seattle to join my fellow educators. It is always a joyful occasion, a time for seeing friends and meeting peers, and an opportunity to hear and learn from different people in the field

#storynotgadget | Artmaking, Materials, and Ownership | USQ Salon Series 2017

In July and August 2017 I was welcomed by the Digital Life team at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in Toowoomba, Australia. Among other things, I was invited to be a guest speaker at their Salon Series - a monthly live-streamed lecture by a visiting scholar.

A good, busy, happy year

I’m looking forward to a school year split between Happy Valley and Manhattan - I’m sure it’ll be a good, busy, happy one.

A Toowoomba Summer (or Winter)

On this trip, I divided my Toowoomba time between the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and the Cobb&Co Museum. I was welcomed by excellent researchers, artists, and educators of all walks of life. There was work in the museum workshop and the university makerspace, lectures to be given, discussions to be had, time in TV and radio production studios, lunches and meetings, - I’ll tell you all about all that soon. Butlet’s start at the beginning.
